 Happy What's on your workdesk Wednesday. Well mine is a mess! I decided to clean my plant labels i collected from around the allotments. I have a lot of wooden labels but also some plastic ones which i reuse as many times as i can before they snap. So, i clean them with acetone (or fake nail remover as it appears to be called in our cheapo shops). Seems to work ok, not brilliant but good enough to be able to reuse.

Forgot to do my 'man bites dog' cards this week as was rushing as this was my desk late last night. At the back of my desk is a new roll of double sided tape, i was looking for a scotchtape advance refill but none of the shops seem to sell it now and oneline it was well over £8 a roll!!! We shall see how i get on with this, i do love my tape gun so a bit gutted that i cant get decent refills now.

Anyway, whats on your desk?

 Happy What's on your workdesk Wednesday. Been a bit busy with the pay the bills job (always the same mid march through april) so wasnt able to make all the blog returns last week, apologies. On my desk this week is random stuff, on the right is a folded piece of new fabric, no idea why i bought it as i have tons of fabric BUT (there is always a but when it comes to new stash!) I really liked the pattern and could instantly think of patterns that would fit the fabric! 

In the middle is a mistake buy! I bought slightly cheaper brown card blanks, big mistake as they are really thin, hence i am having to stick a background papers on to add some strength! Not a mistake i will make again  should have stuck with my usual brand. One the left is some multicoloured scrap card i made with various inks for my jounral page and thought i could use the left overs. Middle back is my new masking fluid bottle, not used it yet but the watercolour course i am trying to do uses it so now no excuse not to try restarting the course!

As to my Man Bites Dog cards this week, well i would rather not think about that as i am picturing a certain american, fake tanned wannabe president!!! 

Moving swiftly on.....my fire cider is ready (recipe i got off the riverford website) and i have now filtered it and have been using it most days, no where near as garlicky as it was a week ago so think i would make that again once this runs out (says it lasts 6 months in the fridge). 

Also just a quick photo of my latest pickings off the allotment. Still picking purple sprouting broccoli but now my forced rhubarb is ready and still picking various winter salads (no greenhouse just outside under a cloche).

So, what's on your workdesk?

 Happy What's on your workdesk Wednesday. I hope you all had a lovely Easter? I managed a trip to a vegan fair, a sculpture trail and the first open weekend of the year of our local museum. Then, between the hail and showers a quick weeding session on the allotment when panic sets in as i haven't sorted out my seeds yet....hence my desk this week!

Tons of seeds beimg sorted. I store them by type eg kale rather than by sowing date as some can be sown most of the year. I will sort through in the smaller box on top of the large plastic lid those seeds i intend to sow in the next 4 weeks! Wish me luck, lol

 Happy What's on your workdesk Wednesday. Just a quick update from me as still got a nasty cold but did manage a quick card make the other day. I forgot my man bites dog cards this week too, never mind. These are old toppers i came across when i was having my clear out last week so i am forcing myself to actually use them!

And this is a photo of something new for me. I decided to have a go at making fire cider. Never made it before but thought i would give it a go! Tumeric, ginger, garlic, chilli and various other ingredients. Will certainly be interesting. 

So, what's on your workdesk?

 Happy What's on your workdesk Wednesday. Now, this desk is actually from a couple days ago, i haven't done anything this week as i have a stinking cold so am just sat here sneezing, coughing and blowing my snotty nose! However, inspired by several fellow WOYWWers sorting their stash out I made a start on mine! 

I decided to tackle just one drawer as thats achievable for me. 

I managed to get a bag full of goodies, all sorted and labelled and took it up to our local food bank and community hub. They do a free lunch and craft session each week so were chuffed for some more stash.

So, what's on your workdesk?

 Happy What's on your workdesk Wednesday. Well i have no crafting on my desk but last night i decided to clear out a couple of old books and some old inks and paints (i will be honest some of them were totally dried out!!) to make space for these beauties.

I have been doing Kolbie Blume's free online watercolour course and have been so impressed hubby bought me all three of her books for my birthday last week. To make sure i use them i was determined to keep them in my craft room as i would be more likely to notice them and have a go, hence the sorting out last night. 

I just need to put some time aside to finish the course and play.

So, what's on your workdesk?

 Happy What's on your workdesk Wednesday and Valentines day too!  I actually did some crafting!!! Go me! 

Not difficult, just some backing paper and colouring some wooden flowers with my ink pads. But its still crafting so happy with that.

My Man Bites Dog cards this week are 'tourist tells on nurse again' mmm, moving on! 

So, what's on your workdesk this Wednesday?

 Morning and What's on your workdesk Wednesday? Well, on mine not much! Not had a chance to do any crafting. For the first time in several years i haven't made ANY Christmas cards (i usually try to make 20 in January to take the pressure off next Nov/Dec). I will try to make some in February before i pack away the christmas papers and stamps and cards i upcycle. 

At the  back is rhe Dr Who moulds i found when having a small clear out. In the past i made some clay and resin items like a tardis so need to have a think and make some more as they are really unusual. 

On the right of my desk is my small black sketch book, as i did manage to meet up with bristol urban sketchers at the weekend at the M Shed museum. Lovely group and there is some amazing artists in there. 

Forgot to do my 'man bites dog' cards and didnt make all my blog returns last week so apologies. Will try to make more time in February to actually do SOME crafting and also catch up on my painting course. 

So, what's on your workdesk, do share via the lovely Julia's blog.

Happy What's on your workdesk Wednesday. On my desk is my next Kolbie Blume watercolour class, sunset over water. Am a few behind (think there are 10 in the free class online) and missed one (as it used masking fluid and i dont have any) but really enjoyed the sunset.

My 'man bites dog' cards....'missing general, dead suspect'.....oooh! 

So, what's on your workdesk?
